Giant cell myocarditis after first dose of BNT162b2 - a case report.
Article in European journal of heart failure, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Herein we report the case of a young man, admitted to the Department of Cardiology and Angiology at Hannover Medical School with shortness of breath and elevated troponin. Few weeks earlier the patient received the first dose of BioNTech's mRNA vaccine (Comirnaty, BNT162b2). After diagnostic work-up revealed giant cell myocarditis, the patient received immunosuppressive therapy. In the present context of myocarditis after mRNA vaccination we discuss this rare aetiology and the patient's treatment strategy in the light of current recommendations.
